The following stories happened this week, 25 and 50 years ago, as reported in the Snoqualmie Valley Record. From the Record’s archives:

•David Humphrey will have his hands full on Tuesday, with kids and with a school opening in the middle of a major construction project. But the new principal at Mount Si High School will be dealing with only a little over half the number of students he had at Kentridge High. Humphrey will also have help from another new face at Mount Si. Elizabeth Ohlson, from Renton High School, has hired on as assistant principal, a position she shares with Greg Hart.
• Emergency Medical Update, a video magazine based in Winslow, has chosen King County Fire Protection District 10 to help make its newest training film. On Monday, Aug. 13, the cameras were rolling at MacDonald Park in Carnation. They wanted to film a realistic CPR scenario with multiple victims. After a full day of filming, the film company had enough for a brief clip to be shown next spring.
Thursday, Sept. 2, 1965
• Two guns were taken from the home of Mrs. Dorothy Headley, Rt. 1, North Bend, some time during the day of Aug. 25, according to the King County Sheriff’s office. Mrs. Headley reported the theft of a 30-30 Winchester and 1.5 boxes of ammunition, and a 30-40 Marlin antique model and 15 shells, which were taken from her son’s bedroom. Entry was made through an unlocked garage door to the kitchen, according to sheriff’s officers, who said the weapons were the only items removed from the premises.
•With the football season starting two days after the students have settled at their desks at Tolt High, practice is in high gear on the local field. Twelve of last year’s lettermen are pacing the workouts under the direction of head coach Larry Lydon and his assistant, Glen Owen.
